Koolen–Bang classification conjecture for geometric distance-regular graphs
Let be a fixed integer. A geometric distance-regular graph has diameter and intersection number . Koolen–Bang's classification conjecture. Any geometric distance-regular graph with smallest eigenvalue is either a Johnson graph, a Grassmann graph, a Hamming graph, a bilinear forms graph, or has number of vertices bounded above by a function of . The source presents this as one of two conjectures proposed by Koolen and Bang; no resolution is given, so it remains open.
